The self-drilling anchor bolt is manufactured using thick-walled seamless steel pipes that meet API standards. These pipes undergo a warm thread rolling process to create precise threads, which are available in R-thread (Round), compliant with ISO standards, or T-thread (Trapezoidal), tailored to company specifications.

The process of making the threads not only ensures that they are accurate, but it also refines the steel's grain structure, making the anchor bar stronger. To protect the anchor bar from environmental damage and corrosion caused by soil and rock, the surface can be treated with hot-dip galvanization or an epoxy coating, ensuring long-lasting durability and performance.

The self-drilling anchor system is a tool that features a hollow threaded anchor bar paired with a compatible drill bit, enabling drilling, anchoring, and grouting to be completed in a single step. This system is primarily used in engineering applications such as slope stabilization, tunnel pre-support, and micropile reinforcement. It is widely adopted across industries, including mining, tunneling, railways, and subways, due to its efficiency and versatility.

  • Epoxy Coating Adhesion Standard: ISO 2409
Differences Between Self-Drilling Anchor Bars and Conventional Anchor Bars
  • 01
      Construction Process

      The self-drilling anchor bar combines drilling, grouting, and anchoring into a single, seamless process. Grouting occurs simultaneously with drilling, which simplifies the installation. In contrast, conventional anchor bars require multiple steps: first drilling the hole, then inserting the anchor bar, and finally grouting. This makes the process lengthier and more labor-intensive for conventional systems.

  • 02
      Geotechnical Suitability

      Self-drilling anchor bars excel in complex geological conditions, such as fractured rock, weak soil, and flowing sand. They can adapt to these challenging environments without compromising performance. On the other hand, conventional anchor bars often encounter issues such as borehole collapse or difficulty forming stable holes, which can lead to delays and reduced reliability in such conditions.

  • 03
      Borehole Quality

      With self-drilling anchor bars, grouting is performed during the drilling process, ensuring that voids in the borehole wall are effectively filled. This results in superior borehole quality and enhanced stability. For conventional anchor bars, grouting is done after drilling, which may result in less stable borehole walls and inconsistent filling, potentially compromising the system's integrity.

  • 04
      Construction Efficiency

      The integrated construction method of self-drilling anchor bars eliminates unnecessary steps, significantly improving efficiency and reducing construction time. Conventional anchor bars, by contrast, require a more cumbersome multi-step process that is less efficient and more time-consuming.

  • 05
      Anchoring Effectivenes

      Self-drilling anchor bars provide timely and uniform grouting, which creates stronger bonding with surrounding soil and rock, delivering superior anchoring performance. Conventional anchor bars, however, may experience inconsistent anchoring effectiveness due to factors such as borehole quality and grouting methods, which can make their performance less predictable.

  • 06
      Anchor Bar Structure

      Self-drilling anchor bars feature a hollow structure, making grouting more efficient and precise. Conventional anchor bars, being solid, lack this advantage. For example, in a tunnel project with complex geological conditions, conventional anchor bars may face difficulties with drilling and grouting, slowing down progress and compromising anchoring. By comparison, self-drilling anchor bars facilitate faster borehole formation and superior anchoring performance, ensuring project success even in challenging conditions.

Self-Drilling Anchor System
Self-Drilling Anchor System

The self-drilling anchor system is an advanced anchoring solution on the market. It provides stability in soil or rock formations and is a key anchoring system in rock reinforcement projects, ensuring safety and structural rigidity.

Our self-drilling anchor is equipped with different parts. At the drilling end is the anchor bit, which creates the borehole while facilitating grouting. The anchor bolt, serves as the primary support structure. The anchor coupler extends the bolt's length when necessary, while the anchor plate distributes surface loads to ensure stability. Finally, the anchor nut locks the system securely in place, completing the setup for optimal performance.
